libinfinity 0.6.8 and libinfinity 0.7.1 have been released. These are
bug-fix releases in their respective stable series, fixing a possible
crash in the infinote server infinoted when uploading a document.

libinfinity 0.6.8 and 0.7.1 can be downloaded
from the Wiki page on GitHub.

libinfinity 0.7.0 has been released. The primary new feature is support for
gobject-introspection, which allows using the libinfinity API from
higher-level programming languages such as Python. Furthermore, situations
were a disconnect happens silently are now recognized much faster due to usage
of TCP keepalive probes. Also, the infinoted server allows to listen on only a
specific network interface. Support for GTK+ 2.x has been dropped, GTK+ 3.x
is the only supported GTK+ version now.

There is no version of Gobby yet which makes use of libinfinity 0.7.0, however
the standalone server, infinoted 0.7.0, can be operated with the current
release of Gobby, Gobby 0.5.0.

libinfinity 0.6.7 has been released. This is a bugfix release in the 0.6.x series. Primarily, it fixes a problem where the library would cause a crash when linked against glib 2.46 or newer. It also fixes potential crashes in some other uncommon situations. It is recommended to update to this new version of libinfinity, especially if you plan to upgrade glib to 2.46 anytime soon.

libinfinity 0.6.6 has been released. This is a bugfix release in the 0.6.x series. It fixes a problem where a server’s certificate would silently be accepted even though it failed verification if no certificate pinning is performed, i.e. the hostname matches and its CA is trusted. A potential client-side crash is also fixed which occured when a server is shut down while still being connected. It is recommended that all users update to this new version of libinfinity.

libinfinity 0.6.5 has been released. This is a bugfix release in the 0.6.x series. It fixes an error message in the server log stating the reason a client certificate was rejected, and several potential crashes where data would be sent to already closed connections. Libinfinity 0.6.5 also builds cleanly on FreeBSD now.

libinfinity 0.6.4 has been released. This is a bugfix release in the
0.6.x series. It solely fixes build issues on Mac OS X. If you are not
using libinfinity on OS X, there is no need to update to libinfinity
0.6.4.

libinfinity 0.6.3 has been released, a bugfix release in the 0.6.x
series. It fixes the certificate dialog being shown even when the
certificate has already been accepted previously, a possible timing
attack against the server password and it allows to configure the
directory-sync plugin such that non-owners can read the created
directories as well.

Gobby 0.5.0 has been released today, together with libinfinity 0.6.1. These
packages represent new major versions of Gobby, and puts the experimental
0.4.9x series on a more stable footing. Significant new features include a
built-in server in Gobby so that it is no longer necessary to run a dedicated
server to connect to another computer running Gobby, and a permission system
to grant and revoke permissions from different users. Gobby 0.5.0 is fully
compatible to Gobby 0.4.94.
